Looks like it might be a some sort of solenoid or circuit for a track signaling system.
On a DC track system, you get constant negative on one rail, and positve on the other. This gizmo probably needs a special wheelset which triggers the circuit as it passes over the the different points installed/ wired to the positive rail, which then routes the power to the next bulb in the signal. I'm not doing a good job explaining it but that's my best guess.

| Goinincircles may be right about the signaling thing. You may need some sort of sensor for the end of the wires like a light sensor. Thats what my AR uses.
